2027 Content Creator Income Planner
See what your channel earned in 2027 from every source, track brand deals to paid, and estimate a tax set-aside. One .xlsx for Excel (imports into Google Sheets).
Who this is for
- You earn from sponsorships, platform payouts or affiliate links and want it all in one place.
- You want brand deals tracked from in progress to invoiced to paid.
- You want a monthly and yearly total with a simple tax set-aside estimate.
Who it's not for
- Not for you if you want it to pull payouts from YouTube, TikTok or any platform. You type or paste them in.
- Not for you if you need an exact tax figure. The set-aside is a simple % estimate, not tax advice.
- Not ideal if you only use Google Sheets on a phone. It's an .xlsx built for Excel that imports into Sheets.

Frequently asked questions
Which apps does it open in?
Excel 2016 or newer (including Microsoft 365 and Excel for the web) and Google Sheets: upload the .xlsx to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets. You get one .xlsx file (Excel 2016+, Microsoft 365, Excel for the web; imports into Google Sheets) plus a short how-to. Instant digital download.
What happens after checkout?
Payhip shows your download link right after checkout and emails it to you too. You download a .zip with the .xlsx file(s) and a short how-to. It's an instant digital download; nothing physical ships.
Can I edit it?
Yes. Nothing is locked: rename categories, add rows, change colors and type over the example data.
Does it connect to my bank or send reminders?
No. It's a spreadsheet, not an app: you type in your own numbers and nothing is synced or sent.
Are the numbers in the previews real?
No. Previews and the file use example data only. Delete the example rows and add your own.
Can I get a refund?
It's a digital download, so if something doesn't open or work, message the shop through Payhip (or reply to the Payhip email) and I'll help fix it. Refund requests are handled case by case under Payhip's terms.
Is this financial advice?
No. It's an organizing and planning tool with example numbers, not financial, tax, legal or medical advice.
